Chapter 723 Self-deception
"No!" He explained in a low voice: "Once the general's people go over, if the secret is revealed, it will scare the family. Moreover, if we don't go back and make it clear, eldest brother may not come!"
Only my own people will be believed by my eldest brother.
Xi Yao was a little irritable, she didn't want to rush.
But the matter was so important that she had no choice but to agree.
"Fine!"
"There's no rush now!"
Zhou Qinglai, at least wait until the land is cleared...
Just when everything was going on in an orderly manner, and the food in the military camp was gradually becoming more abundant, the war became urgent again, and the Nanliang Kingdom was coming menacingly, with the intention of breaking the city in one fell swoop...
"Don't go out, wait for me here!" Zhou Rong reminded Xi Yao seriously, fearing that she would unexpectedly do something frightening.
Xi Yao arranged his clothes and whispered: "Protect yourself, you are not alone. Ah Li and I are waiting here for you to come back." She pursed her lips and felt panicked.
The previous years were quiet and peaceful, but I was just deceiving myself.
Zhou Rong hugged her and assured her in a deep voice: "Don't worry, the general is well prepared and will definitely win the battle as soon as possible!"
Xi Yao nodded, but she still refused to give up.
During this period, not only her, but also the steps in the military camp did not stop...
Land reclamation and pig raising are all on the agenda.
The Chen family's big and small pigs have all been taken in by the military camp, and the money has been paid. They are just staying in the Chen family for the time being because they haven't taken care of them.
They made all preparations just to give Nanliang a severe blow.
No matter how reluctant they are to leave each other, when the time comes, they still have to separate.
Xi Yao sent Zhou Rong away on horseback with red eyes, feeling very sour in his heart.
"Fourth Aunt," Zhou Li called out worriedly.
Reaching out and rubbing his face, Xi Yao looked up at the sky for a while, then turned his head and smiled at Zhou Li and said, "I'm fine!"
His eyes were still red, how could he be okay?
But Zhou Li couldn't say anything to comfort him.
For the first time, he hated himself for being so dull.
"Let's not just stand there stupidly," Xi Yao said thoughtfully, "We have to do something, otherwise it will make people think wildly!"
But the peppers have been dried, the herbs have been prepared, and the chestnuts have been packed away, so they have nothing to do.
"How about we clean the house!?" Zhou Li said cautiously.
Xi Yao refused in disgust, "It's been cleaning for a long time!"
She doesn't want to clean at all.
"What can we do? Fourth uncle won't let us wander around!" Zhou Li said, scratching his head.
He couldn't figure it out.
Xi Yao thought about it for a long time and realized that Zhou Rong was not here, so she really had nothing to do.
"Fourth Aunt, the villagers are going up the mountain," Zhou Li reminded as he spotted a group of people not far away.
"How come there are still people going up the mountain?" Xi Yao asked in surprise.
Because Awang's father and other strong laborers in the village were taken away by the people from the military camp, and the only ones left were the old, young, women, and children in the village.
Before, when Father Awang and the others were here, they could take Zhou Rong and the others up the mountain.
After only a few trips up the mountain, Zhou Rong and the others had thoroughly explored the mountain and even found a lot of wild chestnuts.
Therefore, no one in the village went up the mountain.
But now, why would anyone go to the mountains?
Xi Yao's curiosity was aroused and he opened the courtyard door. Then he found that there were children among the people going up the mountain. He was extremely surprised.
